The Mulberries describes Eremomandarin as an Eremocitrus–satsuma hybrid; the video does not verify its pedigree. The grower reports broader leaves and more pronounced veining than Eremorange, and spring flowers that did not reach full bloom. The plant was considered too small to field-plant for the preceding winter; its winter location is unspecified, and no direct fruit tasting or outdoor cold result is reported.[1]
A translated Tiny Mandragore nursery listing quoted in a ProBoards excerpt describes the separate selection Eremomandarin n°2 as Eremocitrus glauca × satsuma ‘Ikeda’, attributed to Sokolov in 2001. It claims vigorous upright growth, early flowering, small thin-skinned fruit with bead-like orange flesh, November ripening and survival at −14°C without damage. These are claims about that numbered selection, not established traits of every Eremomandarin. The original nursery text and full forum thread were not independently verified.[2]
